Peaceful picketers were met with police batons during the second day of a three-day strike at Amazon’s suburban Madrid centre. According to media accounts, Spanish National Police officers in riot gear began charging striking workers at around 2:30 p.m. The police alleged that the strike was blocking traffic—a claim disputed by the Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), the majority union for Amazon workers on a national level. During the assault, one worker was bloodied and lost teeth after being clubbed in the head. Three workers were injured and two workers were arrested and released later that afternoon. The collective agreement between MAD4 workers—nearly half of whom are temps—and Amazon expired in 2016, and a resolution has yet to be reached, while Amazon allegedly continues to chip away at things like night shift bonuses and healthcare.
